State Sen. Ron Grooms (R-Jeffersonville) made the following statement today regarding Governor Pence’s State of the State Address:

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 22, 2013) – “It was an honor to be a part of tonight’s events and to escort Gov. Pence into the House chamber for the first time in his new role as leader of our great state. This session is already off to a productive start, and now, having heard the governor discuss his agenda, I’m confident Hoosiers will see several new policies this year to help support our schools, address state health care needs and support the bridges and roads that our southern Indiana community – and the state as a whole – rely on every day.

“Of course, one of my most important goals this session will be continuing to work on behalf of the small businesses that invest in the Hoosier state and provide meaningful work to our residents. Passing a fiscally responsible budget surely contributes to that goal by protecting taxpayers and providing economic stability to employers.”
